AMONG THE recent railway inventions
which have attracted special attention is
what is termed the anchor brake, to be
used in cases Of emergency. The plan in
volved in this case is that of having an an
chor to drop from ihe rear end of train
and engage with the ties. Provision for
preventing the bending Of the ties, under
the strnin brought lpoG them, might, it is
suggested, be devised as simply as for the
axies and, by having good, long spring
10 case the snock when the anchor came 10
hearing, in addition to the relief which
would cone from the draw springs of the en-.
tire train without any expense at all, u train
might easily 0e brought to stop within
fheen or twenty feet from an ordinary pas
senger speed, if fsomething did not give way.
Il more practicable invention, perhaps, is
thai of q car fire eXtinguisher in case of de-
railment or collision. 1t consists OF q tank
OF wafer above the stove, with large pipe
extending from it TO the inside of the stove,
! just above the FIRE: a trap III the bottom OF
the tank is connected by levers with q
series of arms at the bottom Of the car, one
Of these arms extending under each corner
of each platform, while another extends
| down toward the track; in case, there
fore, OF collision, one of the arms under the
| platform must be struck first, thus moving
| the lever, opening the trap, aud instantly
deuging the fire with water--or, in case OF
Geraiment one of the arms hanging down
toward the track is struck and operates the
! lever

ARE DEMOCRATS OPPOSED TO REFORM p
The tone OF every democratic convention ia
uamistakable The President, indeed, is
warmly praised in general. This was inev-
liable, because democratic denunciation of
their own administration would be the con.
fession of the incspacity which the repub.
licans allege But nevertheless they will
not suffer it to be supposed that they ap.
prove or sustain this particular whim (civil
service reform) of the Executive. The dem.
ocratic party has thus practically rejected
the reform views of the President, and given
fair warning that it does not invite votes as
q party of reform. There are, indeed, DEM
ocrats who agree with the President and de-
plore the party conduct. But they cannot
in general control the party, and they do
not represent it, as the republican friends of
reform do not control or represent the re.

AUTHORSHIP OF THE PLAYS
Prof. Thomas Davidson Concludes They Are
Baeon's Works
The KIND OF PROOF GIVEN

NEW YORK, ADJUST 27.-The World To-
morrow will contain very elaborate eH-
position of Mr. Ignatius Donnelly's attempt
to dethrone Shakespeare and award the
honor of the authorship of the so-called
Shakespeare plays to Lord Bacon. The
article is written by Prof Thomas David
son, who is known as scholar, philosopher
ana critic, whose opinion as to MIR. Donel-
ly's work cannot fail to carry great weight.
The article gives brief summary
of the results reached in Mr.. Don
nelly's book. The book is divided
into two parts an argument and demon
stration. The former collects, arranges
and sums up all the arguments that have
been put forward in the last 30 years In
favor of the Baconian theory, and adds
large number to them. Having demcstrat-
ed to his own satisfaction that the author
of the plays was not Shakespeare. MIR.
Donnelly next proceeds to prove that he
was Bacon. The first part of the work
closes with long list of parallellism be-
tween Bancons acknowledged writings and
the Shakespearean plays-incidental ex-
pressions, metaphors, opinions, quotations,
studies, errors, use of unusual words,
character, style. These parallelisms will
occupy over seventy closely written pages.
The result of the whole argument, accord
ing to Mr.. Davidson, is to leave upon the
mind strong impression that if Bacon
was not the author of the plays he had, at
least, principal hand in them, supplying
the scholarship, the art and the philosophy.
